Chapter 285: Gray
No one dared to bet, at least in fact, the head of the regiment, Barrow, did not dare to gamble with his beloved little daughter.
Because no one knows what crazy things a sick aristocrat who grew up with a smooth sail and suddenly suffered a catastrophe like a catastrophe.
Barrow was on his horse, his armor grinding against metal as his body trembled.
"Don't hurt my daughter, anything is easy to discuss!"
LaRue Barot laughed hideously and yelled:
"I said, now, immediately, immediately, turn your horses' heads, and fetch me the heads of the poisonous woman and her children!"
Barrow turned his head and exchanged a look with Chigna behind him.
"Okay, eldest prince, we'll go right away!"
After turning his head, Barrow simply agreed.
The Knights still turned their horses' heads, and behind them Laru's crazy laughter echoed.
The Knights of Barot began to run again, and the target changed again.
The foreign intelligence department of the Principality of Platinum, the brainchild of the Dukedom of Barot, sighed and said:
"Send someone to contact this eldest prince, things can't get out of control, before our people arrive, the Barot Knights can't be driven crazy, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
An intelligence agent quickly sneaked out of his hiding place and ran to Barot Manor.
Moments later, the Thinker saw outside Barot Manor, and the agent signaled him to pass.
A quarter of an hour later, the thinker met with LaRue-Barot.
Just behind a group of women and children, Larue Barot looked at him with a skeptical gaze, but the little hope hidden in it relieved the thinker, the eldest prince of Barot was not completely crazy.
Then everything will be easy!
"Grand Prince, you must have known my identity, if I were you, I would immediately send someone to catch up with the knights and make them stop their actions!"
Clean and neat, the first voice is snatched, and the tone of the wise man is cold, with a full sense of persecution!
"Why? Just because you are from the Principality of Platinum? After His Majesty killed my father, can you kill me again?"
Lalu shouted inwardly, but when his eyes touched the cold eyes of the think tank, the whole person shrank back slightly, obviously the banner of the Principality of Platinum was extremely deterrent to him!
"Grand Prince, now is not the time to discuss the authority of His Majesty Platinum, nor is it the time to discuss whether His Majesty Platinum dares to kill you, if you don't stop the actions of the Knights, I believe that it will not be Your Majesty Platinum who will kill you, but the surrounding nobles who want to divide the territory of the Barot family!"
The Thinker's voice was quick and clear, and without waiting for LaRue-Barot to speak, he continued:
"Grand Prince, you can think about it, whether it is the laws of the Seagod Empire or the rules of the nobility, will a madman who killed the former Duchess and all the legal bloodlines be allowed to have the right to inherit the title!"
"And what kind of fate will a territorial nobleman face after he has no heir, I think the eldest prince who has been educated by the nobility since he was a child must know better than me!"
A hint of fear appeared in Laru's eyes, which made the last of the thinker's worries disappear, and he continued:
"Therefore, if you don't want things to get out of hand, and you end up being punished by the Ming Dynasty, you should immediately call people back to the knights and let go of these knights' families, you know, use your family to blackmail knights, if it is passed on, the Duke of Barot title you want will definitely not be touchable, this is a big taboo!"
The long sword in Laru's hand trembled slightly, but the hand holding the hilt of the sword loosened.
The think tank made persistent efforts and said:
"Although your current situation is very bad, it may not be hopeless, for example, if Duke Barot's most powerful neighbor, the Platinum Duchy, supports you, and the Grand Duke of Barot LaRue-Barot becomes the next Grand Duke of Barot, then your hope of inheriting the title is still great!"
The think tank handed over hope.
LaRue-Balot's eyes lit up like never before, and he said in a tone of hope and disbelief:
"Will His Majesty Platinum support me to become the next Duke of Barot?"
For the first time, the think tank smiled, spread his hands and said:
"Why not, as long as you cherish the friendship of His Majesty Platinum, why won't His Majesty Platinum support you? And now all you need to do is to send someone to call back the Knights immediately, otherwise if something happens to Lady Barot, everything will be out of control!"
With a choking sound, the long sword in Laru's hand fell to the ground, and he kept repeating:
"Yes, that's right, Madame can't have an accident, can't have an accident!"
Raising his head, Laru yelled:
"Why are you still stunned, ride my mount, immediately catch up with Barrow, and order them to come back immediately, or I will kill their whole family now!"
The manor guards, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed out of the manor as fast as they could, how could they be willing to make such a fuss? If they really hurt Mrs. Barot, the empire will investigate it, and these accomplices who used to coerce the knights will not end well!
Therefore, as soon as he received Laru's order, someone rushed out as soon as possible.
The Thinker sneered at these manor guards, a group of idiots who were blinded by gold, if it weren't for the fact that they had played a little role today, they really didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Turning his head to look at Laru, the wise man showed a graceful smile and said:
"Now, while the Knights haven't returned yet, and Lady Barot hasn't arrived, we can talk about cooperation!"
LaRue nodded again and again, looking at the thinker expectantly.
The think tank waved his hand and said:
"Prince, are you going to talk here, there should be no shortage of rooms in the castle where you can talk about things!"
Laru suddenly realized, and said again and again:
"Of course there is, of course there is, please come with me!"
Just as the two of them were walking towards the castle.
The Order of Barot is already approaching the frame of Lady Barot.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves approached from a distance like muffled thunder, which made the hundred Van Dyser soldiers guarding Lady Barot nervous.
"Ma'am, something seems wrong!"
Lady Barot frowned, and commanded:
"Don't panic, defend the formation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Barrow galloping first.
"No need, I'll talk to them!" Seeing that it was the Barot Knights, Mrs. Barot canceled Fang Cai's order, and a hundred infantry soldiers, for the Barot Knights, a charge could be wiped out, and it had no effect at all.
The captain of the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and signaled his subordinates to put down their weapons, the difference in strength was too large, in this case, it was the best choice not to do anything hostile.
"Barrow!" Mrs. Barot stepped out of the carriage and called Barrow by name.
On the horse, Barrow lowered his head and said:
"I'm sorry, ma'am, LaRue Barot has taken my daughter hostage!"
Lady Barot's brow furrowed, and she asked:
"What does he want to do, let you kill me?"
Silent!
Mrs. Barot nodded slightly, signaling that she understood, and then said:
"If you do it, you should be able to imagine what will happen to you!"
"Neither the empire nor any other nobleman will forgive a person who is injured and stained with the blood of an innocent nobleman!"
Still silent!
Mrs. Balott's red lips lost their bloody color, and she inhaled deeply, and continued:
"Don't be threatened to banish reason, you must know that even if you take my life, your family will definitely not be happy!"
"I don't think there is a need for Mrs. Ben to remind you what kind of sin it is to kill a duchess, of course you have to die, and the best fate for your family is to die with you, otherwise the princess will be their destiny!"
The four words Gong ** Li, because of the turmoil in Critical City, reappeared in the field of vision of the upper echelons of the Poseidon Empire, and the work that Gong ** Li asked to undertake and the environment in which he lived were also known to all the nobles.
Barrow looked up suddenly, and under his mask, a pair of tiger eyes turned blood-red.
A roar, like a dying beast!
"Why? What is wrong with us to endure such cruel things?"
"Why? You all have to threaten the knights with the lives of innocent family members?"
"Why? You don't hesitate to use other people's lives as bargaining chips for the sake of your own lives?"
The roar and questioning voice made Mrs. Barot's gaze soften, and her brow stretched again.
"Barrow, I have not persecuted you, and you must also believe that the Barot family has always regarded you as loyal knights, and you should not have suffered so much!"
"Standing behind me, I swear in the name of Barot that your family will not be harmed in any way!"
There was a glimmer of hope in Barrow's blood-red eyes.
"Madame, your kindness is a virtue that the Knights of Barot will always uphold!"
Rolling off his horse, Barrow got down on one knee!
With Mrs. Barot's words, Barrow knew that their family's lives had been spared, and no one would joke about their family name.
And such a statement at this time represents Mrs. Balot's willingness to compromise with LaRue Barot for the sake of their family!
And among the nobles, as long as they are willing to compromise, there will be no blood!
Along with Barrow, all the members of the Order of Barot, for the second time today, knelt down on one knee to the lady to show their loyalty.
The soldiers of the Van Diese family, who were in charge of guarding Mrs. Balot, were deeply impressed by the charm of this lady, and in a few words, the soldiers surrendered without a fight, even if it was a woman, which broke the hearts of this group of soldiers.
At the same time, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Department of the Principality of Platinum met with Mrs. Vin Diesse.
The middle-aged fat butler stood behind his wife and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Madam, this is the head of the Barot Branch of the Foreign Intelligence Department of the Platinum Empire, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty the Platinum, and at the same time, all our activities in the Barot Territory have received strong support from His Excellency the person in charge!"
"Before setting off from the family, the Duke had an order that this Excellency was a friend of the Van Diese family!"
These two sentences made the person in charge smile bitterly, and Mrs. Van Diser showed a puzzled look.
"Butler, why do you keep calling this lord by his position instead of his name?"
The person in charge bowed his head slightly, expressed his respect for this lady, and said:
"Madame, don't be surprised, those of us who do intelligence work sometimes need to complete some work to provoke hatred, so we never reveal our names, so as not to be coerced or retaliated against by our opponents!"
Mrs. Van Diese, who had always had no good opinion of His Majesty Platinum, who had killed his father, then said:
"Oh, could it be that in the Principality of Platinum, His Majesty Platinum is unable to protect the safety of his loyal family?"
These words made the middle-aged fat housekeeper frown, and among his own wives, the dissatisfaction with His Majesty Platinum between words can be felt by everyone.
However, when these words heard in the ears of the person in charge, they were extremely moving, and he was worried that he could not explain to Duke Van Diese, but he did not expect this lady to send him a reason, which was so intimate.
His face instantly became cold, and a pair of eagle-like eyes stared at the face of the middle-aged fat butler.
"Your Excellency, Mrs. Van Diese's attitude does not seem to be consistent with what Duke Van Diesse and His Majesty Platinum described!"
The middle-aged fat housekeeper, who didn't expect this person in charge to be very talkative, turned his face without saying a word, and hurriedly said:
"Your Excellency misunderstood, although my wife is the daughter of the Barot family, she is the next duchess of the Van Diesel family, and the friendship between the Van Diese family and His Majesty Platinum is unbreakable, and my wife has absolutely no dissatisfaction with His Majesty Platinum!"
Mrs. Van Dise lowered her eyes and was silent, noncommittal to her housekeeper's words, which seemed to be acquiescence and silent rejection!
The person in charge glanced at Mrs. Van Disse, then at the middle-aged fat housekeeper, and said:
"Mrs. Van Dies's attitude, I think I understand, that's fine, fortunately LaRue-Barot's side, the friendship with His Majesty Platinum is also very cherished, otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with His Majesty!"
Then he got up, looked at the middle-aged fat man and said:
"In that case, I'll take my leave!"
With that, he got up and wanted to leave.
The middle-aged fat man was already frightened when he heard his words, and hurriedly stopped him, looked back at his wife, and said almost pleadingly:
"Madam, if Larue Barot inherits the title, I think that Madame Barot and your younger siblings will not be what you want to see in the future!"
However, Mrs. Van Diser did not appreciate it, and snorted coldly and said:
"Although His Majesty Platinum is in a high position, Her Majesty the Empress is above, and it is impossible for him to cover the sky within the empire!"
"I don't believe that the empire will allow an illegitimate son who does not have an official noble status and blood certification to have the right to inherit a duke title!"
The cold and hard attitude let the middle-aged housekeeper know for the first time how obsessed this lady is with her father's hatred!
"Madam, you ......" The middle-aged housekeeper wanted to persuade again, but was persuaded by the person in charge.
"Madame's attitude is obvious, so it's okay, butler, the position of the power of the Platinum Duchy in the Barot territory will change, I hope the Van Diesel family will be mentally prepared!"
"And for Madame, there is a word to inform below!"
"If there is only one bloodline left in the Barot family, then even if it is an illegitimate bloodline, I think Her Majesty will take pity on Duke Barot's merits to the empire, and will let Duke Barot's title be passed on!"
